2018-02-08mem-cache: Make cache warmup percentage a parameter.Daniel R. Carvalho
The warmupPercentage is the percentage of different tags (based on the cache size) that need to be touched in order to warm up the cache. If Warmup failed (i.e., not enough tags were touched), warmup_cycle = 0. The warmup is not being taken into account to calculate the stats (i.e., stats acquisition starts before cache is warmed up). Maybe in the future this functionality should be added.

2018-02-07mem-cache: Cleaned blocks should be marked as not writableNikos Nikoleris
A writeclean packet writes a dirty block to the memory below and therefore sets the dirty flag for the block when the memory below is a cache. If the block was also marked as writable it can satisfy future write requests without further requests/snoops. This can lead to multiple copies of the same block marked as dirty which is not allowed. This changeset clears the writable flag from the cleaned block to prevent the cache from satisfying future write requests without sending a downstream request.

2018-01-23tarch, mem: Abstract the data stored in the SE page tables.Gabe Black
Rather than store the actual TLB entry that corresponds to a mapping, we can just store some abstracted information (address, a few flags) and then let the caller turn that into the appropriate entry. There could potentially be some small amount of overhead from creating entries vs. storing them and just installing them, but it's likely pretty minimal since that only happens on a TLB miss (ideally rare), and, if it is problematic, there could be some preallocated TLB entries which are just minimally filled in as necessary. This has the nice effect of finally making the page tables ISA agnostic.

2018-01-15mem: Track TLB entries in the lookup cache as pointers.Gabe Black
Using the architectural page table on x86 and the functional page table on ARM, both with the twolf benchmark in SE mode, there was no performance penalty for doing so, and again possibly a performance improvement. By using a pointer instead of an inline instance, it's possible for the actual type of the TLB entry to be hidden somewhat, taking a step towards abstracting away another aspect of the ISAs. Since the TLB entries are no longer overwritten and now need to be allocated and freed, this change introduces return types from the updateCache and eraseCacheEntry functions. These functions will return the pointer to any entry which has been displaced from the cache which the caller can either free or ignore, depending on whether the entry has a purpose outside of the cache. Because the functional page table stores its entries over a longer time period, it will generally not delete the pointer returned from those functions. The "architechtural" page table, ie the one which is backed by memory, doesn't have any other use for the TlbEntrys and will delete them. That leads to more news and deletes than there used to be. To address that, and also to speed up the architectural page table in general, it would be a good idea to augment the functional page table with an image of the table in memory, instead of replacing it with one. The functional page table would provide quick lookups and also avoid having to translate page table entries to TLB entries, making performance essentially equivalent to the functional case. The backing page tables, which are primarily for consumption by the physical hardware when in KVM, can be updated when mappings change but otherwise left alone. If we end up doing that, we could just let the ISA specific process classes enable whatever additional TLB machinery they need, likely a backing copy in memory, without any knowledge or involvement from the ISA agnostic class. We would be able to get rid of the useArchPT setting and the bits of code in the configs which set it.

2018-01-09mem-cache: Prune unnecessary writebacks in exclusive cachesNikos Nikoleris
Exclusive caches use the tempBlock to fill for responses from a downstream cache. The reason for this is that they only pass the block to the cache above without keeping a copy. When all requests are serviced the block is immediately invalidated unless it is dirty, in which case it has to be written back to the memory below. To avoid unnecessary writebacks, this changeset forces mostly exclusive caches to issuse requests that can only fetch clean data when possible.

2017-12-22arch,cpu: "virtualize" the TLB interface.Gabe Black
CPUs have historically instantiated the architecture specific version of the TLBs to avoid a virtual function call, making them a little bit more dependent on what the current ISA is. Some simple performance measurement, the x86 twolf regression on the atomic CPU, shows that there isn't actually any performance benefit, and if anything the simulator goes slightly faster (although still within margin of error) when the TLB functions are virtual. This change switches everything outside of the architectures themselves to use the generic BaseTLB type, and then inside the ISA for them to cast that to their architecture specific type to call into architecture specific interfaces. The ARM TLB needed the most adjustment since it was using non-standard translation function signatures. Specifically, they all took an extra "type" parameter which defaulted to normal, and translateTiming returned a Fault. translateTiming actually doesn't need to return a Fault because everywhere that consumed it just stored it into a structure which it then deleted(?), and the fault is stored in the Translation object when the translation is done. A little more work is needed to fully obviate the arch/tlb.hh header, so the TheISA::TLB type is still visible outside of the ISAs. Specifically, the TlbEntry type is used in the generic PageTable which lives in src/mem.

2017-12-05mem: Co-ordination of CMOs in the xbarNikos Nikoleris
A clean packet request serving a cache maintenance operation (CMO) visits all memories down to the specified xbar. The visited caches invalidate their copy (if the CMO is invalidating) and if a dirty copy is found a write packet writes the dirty data to the memory level below the specified xbar. A response is send back when all the caches are clean and/or invalidated and the specified xbar has seen the write packet. This patch adds the following functionality in the xbar: 1) Accounts for the cache clean requests that go through the xbar 2) Generates the cache clean response when both the cache clean request and the corresponding writeclean packet has crossed the destination xbar. Previously transactions in the xbar were identified using the pointer of the original request. Cache clean transactions comprise of two different packets, the clean request and the writeclean, and therefore have different request pointers. This patch adds support for custom transaction IDs that by default take the value of the request pointer but can be overriden by the contructor. This allows the clean request and writeclean share the same id which the coherent xbar uses to co-ordinate them and send the response in a timely manner.

This change adds new packet cmds and request flags for cache maintenance operations. 1) A cache clean operation writes dirty data in the first memory below the specified xbar and updates any old copies in the memories above it. 2) A cache invalidate operation invalidates all copies of the specified block in the memories above the specified xbar 3) A clean and invalidate operation is a combination of the two operations above Change-Id: If45702848bdd568de532cd57cba58499e5e4354c Reviewed-by: Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Curtis Dunham <curtis.dunham@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Anouk Van Laer <anouk.vanlaer@arm.com> Reviewed-on: https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/5047 Maintainer: Nikos Nikoleris <nikos.nikoleris@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.com>
2017-12-05mem: Support for specifying the destination of a WriteCleanNikos Nikoleris
Previously, WriteClean packets would always write to the first memory below unless the memory was unable to allocate in which case it would be forwarded further below. This change adds support for specifying the destination of a WriteClean packet. The cache annotates the request with the specified destination and marks the packet as write-through upon its creation. The coherent xbar checks packets for their destination and resets the write-through flag when necessary e.g., the coherent xbar that is set as the PoC will reset the write-through flag for packets to the PoC.

This change adds support for creating and handling WriteClean packets. The WriteClean operation is almost identical to a WritebackDirty with the exception that the cache generating a WriteClean retains a copy of the block.

2017-11-16ext, mem: Pull DRAMPower SHA 90d6290 and rebaseRadhika Jagtap
This patch syncs the DRAMPower library of gem5 to the external github (https://github.com/ravenrd/DRAMPower). The version pulled in is the commit: 90d6290f802c29b3de9e10233ceee22290907ce6 from 30th Oct. 2016. This change also modifies the DRAM Ctrl interaction with the DRAMPower, due to changes in the lib API in the above version. Previously multiple functions were called to prepare the power lib before calling the function that would calculate the enery. With the new API, these functions are encompassed inside the function to calculate the energy and therefore should now be removed from the DRAM controller. The other key difference is the introduction of a new function called calcWindowEnergy which can be useful for any system that wants to do measurements over intervals. For gem5 DRAM ctrl that means we now need to accumulate the window energy measurements into the total stat.

2017-10-13mem: Signal the local monitor when clearing the global monitorNikos Nikoleris
ARM systems require the coordination of the global and local monitors. When the system is run without caches the global monitor is implemented in the abstract memory object. This change adds a callback from the abstract memory that notifies the local monitor when the global monitor is cleared. Additionally, for ARM systems the local monitor signals the event register and wakes the thread context up. Subsequent wait-for-event (WFE) instructions will be immediately signaled.
